The body of my Hex Ukulele sounds very nice when you tap it. So i thought that I can make it a drum with the same hexagonal pattern. So here it is.Here are instructions for slicing in Prusa slicer (see also video below). For other slicers - steps should be similar.How to slice:Open STL file in slicerRotate 180 deg upside downSplit into objectsMerge all hexagon objects into one (unless you want to have multicolored hexagons)Select hexagons as printable and the main part as hiddenSlice hexagons and export gcodeHide hexagons and mark body as printableSwitch to vase/Spiral modeAdjust number of bottom layers (this is membrane thickness)Adjust external perimeter widthSet Z-lift to 0.4mm (to avoid collisions with hexagonsDisable any supportsSlice and export second gcodeAlternatively if You want to have thicker walls you can print without spiral mode (especially for 0.4 nozzle):Set infol to 0%Set number of perimetersSet number of Top Layers to 0Slice and export second gcodeHow to print:Print h
